Calculating the Probability of Rolling a 5 on a Six-Sided Die

In the context of grade 7 math and probability in the USA, the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die can be calculated using the formula:

[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} ]

In this case, there is only 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 5) out of 6 possible outcomes (rolling a number from 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die is:

[ \text{Probability} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667 \text{ or } 16.67% ]

So, the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die is approximately 16.67%.
